You guys might be interested in what I saw last week. A friend of mine is restoring one of Bobby Alisons NASCAR Daytonas. In place of the the strut rod bushings are factory Chrysler upper ball joints........Pretty easy & inexpensive.

I have seen that also, but, a ball joint is not designed for any real loading in a straight pull as used in a strut. So Either the pulling forces are not that great to begin with, or the ball joint is just strong enough for limited? Nascar use. Or something else.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
